NZ to LA is the Hot Ticket with Air Tahiti Nui This Summer

Air Tahiti Nui is turning up the heat with a
sizzling deal from New Zealand to Los Angeles this summer,
starting from $1405* return.

On sale until Saturday
January 25, New Zealanders can fly return to LA from
Auckland starting from $1405* in economy and $5799* in
business.

Air Tahiti Nui General Manager New Zealand Mark
Hutchinson said Kiwis should move quickly if they want the
hottest ticket around.

“We’re the only airline
offering New Zealanders the chance to fly to Los Angeles via
Tahiti and this year we’ve upped the frequency to three
weekly flights. Whether holidaymakers are seeking a sunshine
stopover in Tahiti or want to breeze right through with our
smooth transfers, we’re offering the ideal way to get to
LA in 2014,” Mr Hutchinson said.

As the gateway to North
America, Air Tahiti Nui’s Los Angeles flight offers onward
connections to more than 80 destinations in the USA.

This
year Air Tahiti Nui is offering thrice weekly flights from
Auckland to Tahiti and Los Angeles via Papeete as well as
better connecting ongoing services to and from Paris as the
airline enhances its French connection.

The airline’s
cabin overhaul, to include more comfortable seats and a new
inflight entertainment system which delivers tablet-quality
viewing, is expected to be finished by
mid-2014.
